In 1965, Yukio Togawa, a Japanese novelist found himself drawn to the whispers of a wild cat unknown to science. He set sail for the untamed wilderness of Iriomote Island and brought this wild cat - the Iriomote Cat to the world's attention.
Togawa inadvertently sparked a conversation about the future of Iriomote Island - a delicate balance between the unspoiled wilderness that needed protection and the essential infrastructure that the island's communities required.
Now, his legacy lives on through his daughter, Kumi. Inspired by her father's passion and dedication, she continues his work, striving to conserve the Iriomote Cat and its habitat. This is their story, told by his daughter, a tale of conservation conflict and the enduring bond between a father, a daughter, and the wild cat that brought them together.
